So i am going to get some new suspension definenitly the rear first because my point is to launch better. So i suppose i will get a set of Eibachdrag springs? I know new uper and lower control arms. So really i'm just asking what exacatly in your opinion should the set up i need to get. Keep in mind i want more launching than corner carving. I know full suspension isn't cheap and i want to spend some money on it but reasonably.

Just buy a coilover set up. This is a good set up, (bottom of the page) just don't buy it from that web site. Like you said good suspention isn't cheap and if you want to launch better coilovers are the way to go.

forgive me i'm new to the suspension but wouldnt new rear control arms and drag launch springs be the best. again if i sound like i dont know much its cause i don't about suspension setups

deag launch springs are good for the track but not if you car is a daily driver. the car will really snap back every time you get on it. the eibach setup isnt bad. the biggest traction help you can get will be from subframes, shocks/struts, control arms, and a good set of tires

okay it is a dd with 4.10s so i supossse the more snaping might get annoying, but i do like that snap sometimes. So what eibach setup do you recomend, i plan on getting full length headers so not to low. I deffinatly will get full lentgh subframe conectors, do you know the benifits between tubular and boxed? I don't know if i would need adj. control arms or not but really im interested with actual item names that you think would give me the best traction/launching on the street as possible with say around 800-1000$ to spend.
Thanks

With the eibach kit all you need to add is rear control arms and sub frame connectors and you will be good to go. Neither of those things have to be done immediatly. The coilovers by themselves will imrove your launch greatly and you can make it as high or low as you want on the street. Eventually you'll probably want to change to a stronger 31 spline trac loc, drive shaft and axles. With that you'll also want torque boxes. Then you'll have a rear that can withstand pretty much whatever you throw at it. You can get a set of slicks a launch at 5,000 RPMs.

launch at 5000 with slicks on a stock rear end? say goodbye to your axles

Try reading my entire post before you comment.

[travis_afx]

i really appreciate all the advice but coilovers are not in my budget really.
so i'll try to explain myself better and again sorry if i'm being a pain in the but. I want to get rear upper and lower control arms(and do i need adjustable ones) ...well anything that will help me launch better and reduce wheel hop a much as possible on the street but (hopefully) i want to try to keep it under a grand.
surely subframe connectors, control arms, and springs (not so much lowering springs but springs to help you launch,if there is acctually a difference) would be around that price right? i just want better launching and redudeced whell hop and better traction on the street cause i hardly ever see the track.
and there is so many control arms, shocks, struts, to choose from i'm lost. So if you could give me some advice on brands and what not i will be greatfull and are tubular subframe connectors better?


Cause really i will be basing my purchases on the advice from you guys.

and to all the guys saying coil overs, i know that is the best way to go cause you can adjust each corner seperatly but i think that might be over kill for what i'm wanting.

But thanks again for all the advice please keep it coming. and i know my post count is pretty low but trust me i'm not a troll and will keep you guys updated.


oh and i had to throw this in cause i'm excited about it i picked up a NX wet kit Saturday

But I did! lol I launch at 5000 RPM on my slicks on a completely stock rearend minus 4.10s! But I get my best times launching around 4500.

No, but I plan on running the same set up basically. I am just going to do my engine work first! Heads and cams have waited on the back porch way too long!
